A Return to Form
Born out of chance and fueled by outrage, rebellions broke out across the land beneath the seemingly vulnerable grip of the Sanguine Fist. Rumors spread like wildfire of the instability and division wrought deep amid their ranks, emboldening Warlords, Slavers, and Overseers alike to seize the opportunity to rally for independence against Bloodloch. Would this be a turn of an age? Could an act of kindness and mercy truly be the final thrust to topple an empire long rooted in blood and ash?
Determined to reclaim their status as the supreme power in the region and put to rest any rumors of weakness, Bloodloch roused her guilds to action and formed a new coalition of Thronekeepers helmed by a Tyrant. They descended upon Kornar, El'Jazira, and the Lich Gardens with swift brutality; one by one the rebellions fell along with their culled leaders, leaving only the Vilimo Fields unconquered.
As the fighting raged on and final preparations were made for the conquest of Vilimo, strange new faces made their journey to the fearsome mountain stronghold. One among them was a self-proclaimed 'Red Marvel' that emerged with gifts and a peculiar offer for the Dominion. The Primus Callidora and her chosen among the Imperial Court deliberated for a time before agreeing to sup with the strange visitor and learn more about his plans.
Rumors surged again at the exchange as more questions than answers were born in the secrecy of the Court and the Thronekeepers' Council. Blood rituals? Old tombs? A new Lich of arcane origin named as the successor to the Lich Gardens? What did it all mean? If one thing is for certain - more eyes than ever have settled upon Bloodloch's domain as the power struggle continues and more plots continue to ripen in the dead lands sowed with strife.
Penned by my hand on Gosday, the 7th of Khepary, in the year 497 MA.

Re: Drawings of Aetolia
It feels like it's been ages since I drew something Aetolia inspired, so while listening to the stream today, I decided to doodle Oba.

Re: Missed Connections: Aetolians
Wow. Some of these names bring back many good memories of Aetolia from over 15 years ago.
Re: Remove the language filter from the forums.
I actually type out "unicorn" if I feel the need to curse, so this is fine with me!

Re: Your Favorite Event
I barely remember any events other than being on the periphery of them because of timezones. I'd always get to be involved in the build up and then miss the excitement of the final phase. To a degree, it's lessened my desire to be overly interested in any kind of event because things so frequently happen outside of my gaming timezone that I've just learned not to be overly excited for anything because I'll invariably wind up missing it or investing time to no end. One of the reasons I've had zero interest in the 'K' event is because I've yet to be present when literally anything happened regarding it. The information I have is from people discussing it or informing me after the fact.
Therefore my favourite event is one that I actually got to be involved in (and so wins by default). The release of symbiosis and becoming a Duamvi. It was a real thrill to have an active hand in the climax of that event and have some very poignant moments with fellow Templar and Aban. The event had a profound impact on how I RP Benedicto and has become a core part of who he is now.
Also, maybe selfishly, the wedding of Aloli and Benedicto and the buildup to that involving Chakrasul, Ethne and Bamathis and a whole host of other people. It was an absolute hoot having to deal with all the moving parts and personalities involved in that and the log of the wedding ceremony remains one of my favourites to read.

Re: LOVE
Okay, so I understand the globes take a little of the magic out of it now, but I only used two the whole run - and there's apparently another 100 levels to go, so....
[LEVEL UP]: You have reached the illustrious level of Tekal Lord.
You have gained 1 enhancement points!
You have received 25 Bound Credits!
You have obtained the INSTILL ability!

Re: LOVE
[LEVEL UP]: You have reached the illustrious level of Tsol'aa.
You have gained 2 enhancement point!
You have obtained the HAVENS ability!
[Milestones]: You have completed credit milestone #26: Obtain a new ability in Hunting!
As the last bit of experience washes over your psyche, you are seized with a panic, suddenly unable
to mentally contain the swell of power that comprises the sum total of your long journey to this
point. Struggling to maintain control over the burgeoning tide of experience, you feel your body
begin to tense and swell as if a larger physical container were the answer. Using your very body as
a receptacle, you consciously channel the explosion of mental potence into your physical form.
Almost immediately, the changes occur. Your skin tightens and stretches, taking on a grey sheen. You
cannot help but scream in agony as your bones elongate and thicken, forcing muscle and tissue to
adapt. As your body grows, you sense a void grow deep inside, a hollowness caused by and part of
your sudden transformation. The gnawing emptiness has changed you profoundly, and you quickly
recognize that only Divine essence might have any hope of filling it and making you whole once
again. Without understanding how you know, you are aware that you are now Tekal, a hollow one.
An agonized scream startles all into a brief hushed silence as Tahm finally transcends the mortal
body, assuming the hollow form of a Tekal.
